Hi, I’m Yvonne — Lead Officiant - Founder, and your personal hype woman for one of the biggest moments of your life. I am Texas based and I’ve married over 400 couples, and no two love stories have ever been the same. I started officiating as a tribute to my sister, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023. She loved us all deeply and wholeheartedly, and celebrating life’s big moments without her was the hardest part of losing her. Helping couples honor their journey and love story has been my way of healing — one beautiful, heartfelt ceremony at a time. Whether your vows are traditional, bilingual, or totally outside the box, I’m here for it. ♥

We chosed Yvonne from Blissful & Blessed Unions to officiate our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. From our first conversation, she was responsive to all our questions and made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, Yvonne arrived on time and brought such a warm energy to the ceremony. What really stood out was how quickly she translated our vows from English to Spanish, making sure both sides of our family felt included and connected. Her genuine personality shone through every word, and she helped create a truly beautiful moment that reflected who we are as a couple. We'd absolutely recommend Yvonne to any couple looking for an officiant who cares about getting the details right.

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (61 reviews)
Canton, OH
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

On the day of our wedding, Tim's warm and calming presence helped us feel relaxed and present in the moment. He delivered a heartfelt and personalized ceremony that truly made our day feel special and unique. Tim's professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our wedding ceremony went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Tim Greathouse to any couple looking for an officiant who will make their wedding day unforgettable.

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. I will be your guests' favorite thing about your wedding. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies with smart couples. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have: The ability to command a room, a writer's ability to shape a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues.

We love Chris! He was so incredibly genuine, kind, hilarious, and he knows how to handle a crowd. He was certainly born to be doing what he does. He spent months in communication with my husband and I making sure he knew us as a couple. I recently attended a wedding where the officiant mispronounced the brides name throughout the whole ceremony. Chris is the opposite of that. He’s going to know you and your story by the time he’s up there marrying you. And to top it all off, he dropped a wisdom bomb piece of advice on my husband and I, on the day of our wedding, that I think of often. I absolutely cannot recommend him enough!

We cannot recommend Miriam highly enough! She was kind and caring, professional, and extremely good at her job, for a very decent price. She helped our wedding go so smoothly and we are so incredibly grateful she was part of our special day! Our photographer heard we were looking for an officiant for our wedding, and passed along Miriam’s information. From the moment we connected with her, we felt her warm and friendly energy and felt totally at ease about planning our wedding ceremony! Before we met Miriam, we were not really sure what we wanted our wedding to be, but we did know we wanted it to be written by us, and as a queer couple we did not want a “traditional” wedding. It started off feeling overwhelming with so many details to plan overall, but as soon as we met with Miriam, we felt completely at ease and even excited about the process! We threw out some ideas that wove in our New Age/paganistic spiritual beliefs, and Miriam reached out to her pagan priestess friend and did a deep dive researching for our ceremony and coming back to us with so many wonderful ideas. She thoughtfully and creatively wove all the important elements we hoped for into a beautiful ceremony, down to every detail. She was open to our ideas, and supportive through every step of the way, right up until we were there in the moment getting married, and even after the ceremony. She helped make our wedding so special, and we got so many compliments on how “us” our ceremony was and what a great job Miriam did. 100/10, would recommend, do yourself a favor and take this as your sign to book with her!

We recently got married in Central Park’s Cop Cot and Alex was our officiant. He was outstanding! He crafted a beautiful message that was heartfelt, poignant and humorous in all the right places. And his delivery? Oh, my goodness! It was pitch-perfect! He barely glanced at his notes but rather spoke to us and to the crowd. It was like we were old friends or longtime congregants and he a pastor/priest at a church. However, we were not surprised. We could see being friends with Alex under ordinary circumstances.

Choosing Dawn to officiate our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. She is incredibly kind, genuine, and so easy to work with. From the very beginning, she made everything feel simple and stress-free. One of the things we loved most was how she allowed us to personalize the entire ceremony—every word she spoke felt intentional and perfectly aligned with the tone we wanted for our day. What meant the most to us was that Dawn never felt like “just a vendor.” Standing up there with her felt like having a close friend by our side, speaking the most heartfelt and beautiful words on one of the most important moments of our lives. She radiates such warm, loving, and positive energy, and everyone in attendance felt it throughout the ceremony. Another thing that sets Dawn apart is that her support doesn’t end once the ceremony is over. She stayed available afterward for anything we needed, whether it was guidance on name-change steps, paperwork, or post-wedding questions. She truly goes above and beyond, even after the big day. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding officiant. My husband and I already joke that the wedding day went by way too fast, and we’ve agreed that for every future vow renewal or celebration of our marriage, Dawn will always be the one we choose. We’re so grateful for her and everything she did to make our day unforgettable.

Michael did a perfect job officiating our wedding. The entire process was so easy. From our initial calls, to working on the script he put together, to helping my now wife with her vows on the wedding day - Michael was so helpful and easy to work with every step of the way. We had an idea of what we wanted in a ceremony, and Michael took our loose ideas and absolutely nailed it. The ceremony he put together for us was absolutely perfect. It felt like he had known us our entire lives. We had several guests ask where we found such a great officiant and comment on what a great job he did. We weren't putting a huge emphasis on our ceremony, as we had always wanted a ceremony on the shorter side, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the day.

I'm Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville, (call me Jeff) a retired Navy chaplain with 26 yrs military service and real church pastor (not just ordained online). I can lead a highly customized & personalized wedding ceremony at a winery, golf club, beach, on a military base or in a hot air balloon! Or if you just need to be quickly/legally married very inexpensively, I do that too! When you contact me you will quickly receive detailed info, a sample but customizable ceremony, and offer times for a free consultation by videocall to answer questions about levels of service (Gold/Silver/Bronze), the fees, OPTIONAL Premarital Counseling and more!

Jeff can be described in one word. Outstanding! We originally went with Jeff since he is a retired Navy Chaplain, as a Marine that was an instant pro fro me but he also; helped and made the process of planning the wedding from the opposite of the country easy with video calls, while still making time to meet us prior to the wedding to get face to face time as well as run a walk through of our wedding day. He was also able to do a good portion of the ceremony in Spanish to help my in-laws understand what was happening and make them included in the ceremony. He helped us plan out for amazing pictures of the ceremony down to what he would wear. He coached up the bridal party on their roll in the ceremony so everything went smooth. The only negative thing I can say about Jeff is; well I didn't get to spend more time with him! He is amazing and funny and I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking to add the perfect Pastor/Officiant for your perfect day Jeff is an easy inclusion.

Our guests are still raving about how heartfelt and unique our ceremony was. If you're getting married in Colorado, Jane is the officiant you want by your side!

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

Emerald Elegance Ceremonies 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
PHILADELPHIA, PA
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $400

I became a wedding officiant in 2023 because I believe ceremonies should be anything but boring. This is the moment two people declare their love, it should be heartfelt, engaging, and unapologetically YOU. My ceremonies are so personal and memorable that guests often ask, “How long have you known Emerald?” From emotional vows to inside jokes, first-date stories, flower-grandmas, and even that one uncle’s pill alarm going off mid-ceremony, we’ll work together to and make sure your ceremony is one of the most memorable parts of your big day!

Emerald was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Not only did she make our vision of a perfect ceremony come true, she added to it, making our special day a dream! The customization of our ceremony and the attention to detail was truly special. Including our guests in the ceremony and the annunciation of every word, with not one mishap, was truly appreciated. Most of all her communication was excellent and she treated us like family--caring for our personal mental space (outside of the ceremony). Her professionalism is top tier. Emerald worked at the highest level, and if I didnt plan to be married only this one time, I'd I'd use her again!

I’ve known Kym for many years, and when the love of my life asked me to marry him, I knew there was only one person for the job! I called Kym right away, and even though I had run away to South Carolina, Kym was happy to take us on. She sent us a questionnaire to get an idea of what kind of ceremony we wanted, and to capture our love story. Kym offers so many different options both religious and non, and she worked so hard to create the perfect ceremony for us. As anyone planning a wedding knows, there is so much that goes into planning, and Kym made everything to do with the ceremony so easy! I’m not religious or traditional in any way, and Kym found us not only the perfect ring vows, but created the perfect ceremony to fit our theme and who we are individually as well as a couple. Kym even helps you if you want to write your own vows! Everyone is still talking about how gorgeous our ceremony was! Thank you Kym for everything, we love and appreciate all of your hard work so much. You helped us create memories that we will never forget! I wish I could give 50 stars for all of your hard work! You absolutely can’t go wrong with picking Fanciful Hearts for your wedding!

Having Sandy as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she made us feel like we had known her forever. She didn’t just get to know us as a couple, she spent time with our close family and friends, making sure every detail of the ceremony truly reflected who we are and what matters most to us. That kind of effort is rare, and it made our ceremony feel so genuine, heartfelt, and personal. On the day of, Sandy brought such warmth, ease, and joy to every moment. She told our story beautifully and made us feel completely present, even in front of a crowd. Afterward, countless guests told us how touching the ceremony was, and it’s all thanks to Sandy’s gift for connecting with people. Not only did we have the perfect officiant, but by the end of this journey, we also gained a friend. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your ceremony unforgettable, Sandy is the one. We couldn’t imagine our wedding without her.
